For Engineering and Geoscience Week, March 1 to 7, APEGS and the Saskatchewan Geological Society introduced GeoExplore Saskatchewan to students and the public. It was featured in the March/April issue of The Professional Edge. Here’s a recap:
GeoExplore Saskatchewan is an interactive map with roads and waterways featuring 80 geological points of interest through photos and explanations.
Thematic pages explain fundamental geological concepts in plain language, including the Avonlea and Big Muddy badlands (with iconic Castle Butte), glacial spillways like Qu’Appelle Valley and rock formations that create waterfalls and cliffs.

The new slogan introduced this year, “Regulating the professions. Protecting the public.”, reinforces APEGS’ regulatory mandate to protect the public.
